Summer Vacation!

SUMMER! from a young age -school years- we are taught that summer is the time for vacation, fun, relaxation, a break from everyday life... As adults things change for most of us. Our jobs and every day responsibilities generally continue on as normal even though summer has arrived. Each season gives us an opportunity to enhance our homes and gardens in ways that make us feel good, inspired, energized, and yes even on vacation! The word "vacation" can mean so many different things to each of us. We just returned from the beach and there was no sitting under an umbrella ( I would enjoy that too) but we usually keep very active. Everyones idea of a vacation will certainly be different, just like anything in our lives we need to choose what works best for us. I love the beach and the relaxed yet energized feeling it gives me. When I am not there I enjoy the small touches I have added to my home that remind me of those favorite places. Enjoy every minute of summer whether you take a traveling vacation or stay at home. Find ways to bring things into your life that help you feel the bliss of summer and bring you joy, because that is all were really here for!~Jacque
